New Mantel

This was our mantel last Christmas.

~~~*****~~~

What would you do if you woke up on a

Saturday morning and your husband says,

"I feel like building something,

do you have a project for me"? 

~~~*****~~~

  What I did was... 

I got that man in the pick-up and headed 

to Home Depot, before he changed his mind.

This was our mantel when we bought the house.

The first thing that I did was get rid of those 

1970 dome light shades and replaced them,

but that was about all that I could do,

 except decorate.

 Our home was built in 1905,

but one of the owners was a mason and he built 

this fireplace in the 60's or 70's. 

I think that it is beautiful, 

but it doesn't look like it belongs 

in a 1905 cottage. 

So . . .

 now it has a new look.

The white ties in nicely with our

white woodwork and molding. 

 I think it works very well in

transporting us back in time from the 1970's,

back to 1905 (or at least to a cottage feel).

~~~*****~~~

If you wake up next Saturday 

and your husband wants a project,

what will you ask for?

Whatever you do, don't pass up 

an opportunity like this . . . 

they don't come around everyday, LOL. 

~~~*****~~~

Please forgive me for all of my early Christmas  posts . . .

I'm not forgetting

Thanksgiving

How can I, when I have so very much 

to be thankful for.

God Bless You All 

&

Happy Thanksgiving!
